The Royal Bloodline's
Worry

William looked around. He felt misgivings about being on the stage of the hall of the Castello Bruxo magic school, as it was currently the determination of the new spell competition that would be conducted later on in the demon kingdom, if he won.

He looked towards his seat Sponsored and Squidwored earlier, but it turned out that the seat was empty. William muttered alone for fear that his two friends could not help him. "Where are they?"

The situation that occurred on the stage of the hall of the Castello Bruxo magic school, the place where William was to enter the new spell competition that was to be held in the demon kingdom was a little tense. William was worried that his friends, Sponsored and Squidwored, who were supposed to support him, were not present in their seats either.

William spoke to himself earlier, muttering as he was very worried and did not know what would happen later. He thought that his two friends did not come because they did not believe him or even left him. He felt very alone and was afraid of failing in the competition.

"They must not believe me" William murmured inwardly.

"The two of them are not here to support me. What if I fail in this competition? What's gonna happen to me? I feel so alone and scared." William muttered again.

William felt very depressed and anxious, yet he tried to remain calm and focused on preparing for the spell competition. He took a deep breath and tried to dispel his doubts and fears.

"I must focus on this preparation and do my best" William murmured inwardly."

"I've worked hard for this and I can't let myself down, neither can they. I must forget this doubt and trust my own abilities." William's determined.

By talking to himself and motivating himself, William strives to overcome his fears and doubts. He believes he can do his best and win this new spell competition, with or without the Sponsored and Squidwored who have taught him.

Meanwhile, it turns out that outside the magic school hall, Sponsored and Squidwored are having a serious conversation to help William.

The rowdy incident inside earlier, deliberately they did so that it could be easier to get out without suspicion by anyone. If they were still inside and helping William, then the two of them would be caught out if they were backing the magic spell spoken by William, right???

"What should we do now? William must need our help in there. I'm afraid he's looking for us" Sponsored said confusedly.

"But if we stay inside, we will be suspected by the magic spell judges. We need to find another way to help William."

Sponsored nodded and the head heard Squidwored's words. "What if we search for information on the magic spells to be used in the competition? We can help William by giving him tips and tricks to defeat his opponents."

"Alright, that's a good idea. We can find out information from reliable sources. We don't want to give him the wrong information and make him miss the chance to win."

"I agree. We should immediately find out about the magic spells to be used in the competition and give the best tips and tricks to William."

"Let's quickly go to the library and look for information about the magic spells to be used. We have to help William win this competition."

But unbeknownst to Sponsored and Squidwored, the school keeper who once saw William in the black lake notices both. The guard approached and asked them.

"Hi, you two! I overheard your conversation. I see you two are very worried about William in there. But, you don't need to worry, William can definitely do it himself naturally because of the pure soul from within William's body." The guard said to tell.

Sponsored by surprise, as well as Squidwored.

"Pure soul? Do you know what you mean by your words?" ask Sponsored fishing.

The school guard nodded his head. "Yes, William has special powers because of the pure soul he possesses. He has the ability to control the forces of nature and manipulate the energy within him. So, don't worry about him. He can certainly overcome the challenges inside there with the abilities he has. Don't you know that too?"

Sponsored and Squidwored shook their heads compactly.

"Wow, that's amazing. I've never heard of such an ability before from the human race." Sponsored pretending to be amazed.

"I agree. But, does William know about this ability?" squidwored asked by tapping his own chin.

"I'm sure he already knows, because he often uses this ability in magic spell training. So, you guys don't have to worry, let him show his own ability." The guard gave evidence.

"Practiced?" ask the two unlucky twins to look at each other.

"Yes. I've seen him defeat a water monster by the time he's serving his sentence." Both of them were again shocked to hear the explanation from the guard.

"Thank you very much, school guard. We'll trust William to demonstrate his abilities."

"Yes, we will support him in our own way."

The two looked at each other again and nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well, may you both help William in your own way. I'm sure he can do well." The guard smiled happily.

After the school guards passed, Sponsored and Squidwored looked back at each other then each smiled in mysterious slants.

In the kingdom of Bhojongnoghoro, the king was preparing military soldiers to attack the kingdom of Coughel. In the royal hall became very tense and filled with faces preparing for war.

The government is focusing on military preparations and gathering resources to support the war effort. This includes intensive training for soldiers, procurement of weapons and equipment, and planning of military strategies to deal with the enemy.

But because of this too, the kingdom ended up imposing rising taxes and cutting budgets on the non-military sector to fund war preparations.

"How are we prepared for war?" The king, Shawinghuno asked his prime minister.

"We have prepared our troops well, Your Majesty. All the soldiers have gone through rigorous training and we have obtained the best weapons and supplies available on the market."

The king was satisfied. "Is there a problem with logistics? Do we have enough resources to support our forces?" ask king.

"We have made sure that our forces have all the necessary resources, from food and water to medicine and medical equipment. The entire supply is ready in a safe storage area." The prime minister gave a clear explanation.

The atmosphere of the hall felt even hotter, when talking about war.
